Product Spotlight:

Quick release pins, detent pins and other quick release devices are manufactured in a variety of different styles and sizes in an effort to support any application. The main application of quick release pins is to fasten, locate, and align, adjust or remove accessories on equipment. The styles offered include T-Handle, L-Handle, Button Handle & Ring Handle.

The locking element holds the plunger body securely in place without the need for lock nuts or other devices. We recommend a 90 degree countersink 1/32" larger than the major diameter of the mating thread to prevent damaging the element.

Plungers may be ordered with or without the locking element. Plungers without the element are the same price, but are considered "specials" and cannot be returned. We recommend using without the locking element for applications in aluminum.

To prevent possible spring damage, use of a Northwestern Wrench is recommended when installing from plunger end.

End pressures are given in pounds. Full pressures are the force pounds needed to move the nose the distance shown in "C" column.
